Reminded at least once a day that -- for as much as I think I've read, as well-rounded (if not particularly scholarly) as I try to be across disciplines -- I still have huge holes in my reading. Humbling. But there it is. Add to the reading list and soldier on ...

First thing I noticed in the comments were a barrage of, "this rips off El Ministerio Del Tiempo," accusations. My initial reaction is, what time travel to fix/save history show isn't a rip-off of previous time travel to fix/save history shows? But, it looks like there was a pitch to adapt that NBC turned down before green-lighting this one, and the plot around the lead history saver's role and the composition of her team may be the elements ganked.
